Merge tag 'for-4.20-part1-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux
Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
"This is the first batch with fixes and some nice performance
improvements.
Preliminary results show eg. more files/sec in fsmark, better perf on
multi-threaded workloads (filebench, dbench), fewer context switches
and overall better memory allocation characteristics (multiple
benchmarks).
Apart from general performance, there's an improvement for qgroups +
balance workload that's been troubling our users.
Note for stable: there are 20+ patches tagged for stable, out of 90.
Not all of them apply cleanly on all stable versions but the conflicts
are mostly due to simple cleanups and resolving should be obvious. The
fixes are otherwise independent.
Performance improvements:
- transition between blocking and spinning modes of path is gone,
which originally resulted to more unnecessary wakeups and updates
to the path locks, the effects are measurable and improve latency
and scalability
- qgroups: first batch of changes that should speedup balancing with
qgroups on, skip quota accounting on unchanged subtrees, overall
gain is about 30+% in runtime
- use rb-tree with cached first node for several structures, small
improvement to avoid pointer chasing
Fixes:
- trim
- fix: some blockgroups could have been missed if their logical
address was past the total filesystem size (ie. after a lot of
balancing)
- better error reporting, after processing blockgroups and whole
device
- fix: continue trimming block groups after an error is
encountered
- check for trim support of the device earlier and avoid some
unnecessary work
- less interaction with transaction commit that improves latency
on slower storage (eg. image files over NFS)
- fsync
- fix warning when replaying log after fsync of a O_TMPFILE
- fix wrong dentries after fsync of file that got its parent
replaced
- qgroups: fix rescan that might misc some dirty groups
- don't clean dirty pages during buffered writes, this could lead to
lost updates in some corner cases
- some block groups could have been delayed in creation, if the
allocation triggered another one
- error handling improvements
Cleanups:
- removed unused struct members and variables
- function return type cleanups
- delayed refs code refactoring
- protect against deadlock that could be caused by crafted image that
tries to allocate from a tree that's locked already"

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
